@Rulf - Congratulation.  Also, I hope you're going to have the wedding on the tracks as well, with periodic pauses to jump out of the way of oncoming trains. That would be epic.

So this was my day today - 10 hours working the Mid-Atlantic Brass festival. 

Me cleaning a horn back in November up at WCU.

This was our big spring concert on 3/15 (I think we're playing Jurassic Park?)

How'd the interview go?

Looks like a failure, would have called me back by now, oh well!

Call them!

Nah they said not to, if they were interested they'd call me, if not they'll "put my resume on file".  Lol

I just assume that "on file" means "in the trash" when I hear it.

Filed in the circle folder (trash can).

@Anaidiana Awesome that you can play bassoon! Do you play oboe too?

Now tell us a story that begins with ... "This one time, at band camp, ..."  

Drauka

Everywhere I've ever worked, we didn't keep any resumes around or "on file".

I keep applying to the NSA every 6 months (their time between when you can apply again), never works out

This one time, at bandcamp, a severe thunderstorm produced gale force winds and almost blew me across a field. "Sousaphone" is a fancy word for "metal wind sail"

This is a shitty picture of the play I'm stage managing. I also built a bunch of the set.

Valden

I know when they have me "On file" because they give me a phone call when I'm rushing a deadline at work to ask if I need a job.

Kyrra

I've kept every application submitted where I work on file. Most people are sensible enough to decline a demanding job with a salary of peanuts though. Tend to get a lot if UK folk over here on work visas for a year or two. Most would be great for the position but my boss won't hire any of them

for the former: Why thank you. It's my main and it paid my way through college. Which turned me into a certified band teacher, so yes, I can play oboe but no, I don't have one of my own. I have most of the other woodwinds, though. 

For the latter: DIAF. Why is that the only thing people think they know about because of that stupid, asinine movie???

Garao

How dare you.

Kyrra

One time, at band camp, some kid with ADHD started chasing other kids around with a knife he stole from the kitchen.

True story. I miss band camps

Kresslack

It's a great day out. That is all. Time to go play in the woods.

Drauka

[troglodyte]You mean outside the house?![/troglodyte]

Berenene

I believe that would qualify Kresslack as a bear in the woods.

Drauka

Like a Jewish man that was liberated by metal

Kresslack

Where hell did you get Jewish from? Don't be cliche and say the curly hair. <.<

Hah, just the hair and beard. 

Tahquil

And one time, at band camp... I passed out. Completely freaked everyone out because we were in a remote location and I got to go in an Ambulance with the sirens on. Which was scary, because I though that I was about to die.

Tahquil is a Mhun but on a serious note, glad you are alright and achaea-ing now!

Tahquil

No, there were Sirens on it. They were trying to get in to steal all the morphine and other delicious drugs so they can bear their lives of rank prostitution.

Ah yes, rural queensland. You find the most delightful of people out there.

I was born in rural Queensland

Wysteria

This one time, at band camp, I rigged my drumkit to rattle the snare and rumble the bass drum just outside one of the dorms which had a girl who was terrified of thunder and snakes. Australian camps are typically in the mountains (even for city schools they make a point of this), so this offered me way too much fun given there were actual snakes about the place. Noone liked her anyway so it was all good.

I had to take it down at dawn before anyone noticed though.

Iocun

I didn't know there were rattlesnakes in Australia. Or are there other snakes there that give rattling sounds too?

We don't have rattlesnakes but on dry grassland it's the sound they make when they shuffle through the leaf litter etc. The green tree snakes aren't the brightest too so if they're in a tree, they'll try to stretch and hop from one branch to another, thus really just flopping through the leaves and looking embarrassed from all that fuss they made when hitting the ground.

Anaidiana

Psht. If Marching band -hasn't- made you pass out, you're doing it wrong.
